How do I know if my MacbookPro has the RCMP virus?

So I got that warning of the RCMP virus..
It wouldn't let me close the window but eventually I did. Then I opened safari and it appeared again and I quickly closed it. I cleared my history and the website data from safari preferences.
Now I can go on safari and nothing comes up, but I'm wondering if the "virus" is still on my Mac? Will it steal my passwords and credit card information?
What can I do to get rid of it if it is on my Mac?
Please help me!

You didn't install anything, just visited a webpage that was difficult to close. There never was a 'virus' on your computer, and you have already done what's needed.

    Hello,

    I don't think common operating systems have an easy way to do that check.
    If you have a limited number of files, implement access control yourself, instead of using operating system permissions. E.g. write a configuration file that contains:
    # Syntax: "filename": "list of users who can access that file"
    somefile.txt: fred, alice, bob
    somedir/anotherfile.txt: bob, joe
    Read in the configuration file and check against it when a file is being requested.

    Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
    A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip
    A related link in the tip to a checker: Malware Checker Dowload Link
    A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started.
    For now I recommend the User Tip from etressoft to detect and remove:
    Checking for and removing the "Flashback" trojan
    Kaspersky Flashback Trojan Site:Flashback Trojan Detection and Removal
    Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.

  • HT5244 how do I know whether my mac has the malware?

    I've just installed the java fix, but I don't whether it's to late, ie whether the malware is already installed on my mac. Is there any way to check it, without buying an antivirus (cf. should be an advantage of the Mac so far). Cheers

    ClamAV is a free antivirus too that you can run once to determine if there is any sign of it.
    Apparently, ClamXav has not been doing that well in detecting the latest versions of FlashBack. If you are looking for a free A-V product with a more aggressive update policy, it might be worth checking out Sophos AntiVirus for Mac Home Edition.

  • How do I know if my CPU has decreased speed or what speed my cpu is running?

    I recently noticed that when running PRO app my MBP seems pretty slow unusually. I have met this occasion before . I heard that when temperture is too high , the CPU will decrease its speed to protect itself.  How do I know if my CPU has decreased speed or what speed my cpu is running?
    Thank you!
    MBP 8,2  10.6.8

    Enter in the search field of Google 'CPU speed monitors' and you should get some results.

  • How do i know if my apple has a virus?

    How do I know if my apple has a virus? How do I check?

    What makes you ask? Are you having a problem that you believe is due to some kind of malware? If so, what is that problem? Describe the symptoms in detail... they're probably not due to malware, so knowing what is going on is important.
    If you're just curious about protecting yourself against malware, see my Mac Malware Guide.

    How do I know if Mountain Lion has installed properly?

    I can only guess that the install process was interrupted, maybe after the files were extracted but before the install, maybe on the reboot?
    If it was dome ot would say version 10.8.  And you would have the reminder and notes apps as well, also an easy thing to check.
